On another note, grades aren't everything. I've graduated from college and i still don't understand why I used to care about my grades at high-school, they literally had no effect on my college choices.

School grades for me are more so for confidence. They do however are needed if you wanna get into a good college. (Or in my case in a musical college, for witch I need my good grades from my music school )

Tho I would guess that people that were lazy in school and weren't the studying type, will have harder time in college...

Not necessarily, just because someone have low grades at high-school doesn't mean he won't do good at college. You might really hate your school's curriculum cause it has many things you'll never end up using in your real life, but for college, whatever you study is going to be stuff you probably going to have a job circumventing somewhere close to it.

I was more saying that if you are not used to learning and taking studying seriously, It might be a problem to do so in colledge.

Also school is mostly for 2 things. To help you learn the basic things you might need in life and then to help you find your area of interest. While for some advanced algebra might not be something that you will ever need in life, it could be something that will earn the living for somebody else. So for me teachers and society should not want from all of us to have As in all our subjects since we might just have zero interest in them, like it is with many of them, and instead focus more on helping us understand what we really enjoy and would like to study in university and later on work to earn money.

Not everything you like gets you money though. At least to have a decent income i mean. Arts and such are harder to profit from especially in this day and age, where there are so many artists that unless ur a diamond in the rough, you will be stuck being a freelancer lol. The system works in a way that, if you wanna make a good living, you must pick top professions like doctor,lawyer,comp engineer etc. So basically yeh u really cant follow ur dreams without making some serious calculations

Yeah, but for me a person should follow his dreams and do the things he likes and is good at, else you are not fulfilling what you were meant to do - live life the way you want to. Doing something because that is the only way to get money is bizarre and unbelievable for any seLf-respecting person,

For me if you keep on working towards your goal and do what you are good at and what you will love you will find your place in this world...one way or another.

While it's a big part of school it's not something it is made to help with. Socializing should be a natural occuring this when you find people with interests like yours or personalities close to your liking and could be done in any active place with people.

That's where you are wrong. Socializing is not only with people with similar interests and personalities, a truly social person will socialize with people with different interests. That's what socializing really means.
